We breathe, but without lowering our guard
Lula's victory shows that it is still possible to awaken a people's survival instinct and makes Brazil a beacon for a world stalked by the far right.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been reelected in Brazil after a historic turnaround. The election saw massive mobilization of ordinary people, including Maria, João, Ana, José, Raimunda, Francisco, Carolina, and Paulo, who helped sway undecided voters. The campaign was marked by allegations of social media bias, with the UN noting that Meta, owned by Mark Zuckerberg, limited the reach of pro-Lula content.
Lula's reelection was seen as a victory for democracy and a rejection of what the article describes as fascism, represented by the Bolsonaro family.
